DYNAMITE FHENDs.
Fhey Wake a successful Attempt to
blow Up the San Francisco Cable
Road.

Blew Up the san Francisco CnbIe
Road.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 6.-At late hour
last night residents in the vicinity of Ninth
and Harrison streets were startled by ter
rife explosion. Most of them had retired.
and being awakened from their sleep ran
out into the streets in their night
clothes. The first impression created was
that an earthquake had shaken down the
buildings. An investigation. however. dis
closed that dynamite cartridge had been
placed in the cable slot on the Larkin street
branch OF the Sutter street railroad and had
exploded. The basalt rocks OH either side
OF the slot were found loosened and the
masonry was badly shattered. The pulleys
upon which the cable eins were also broken
and the foundation of the tunnel cracked.
Window paneS in the vicinity were ratified
badly at the time of the explosion, and in
many cases shattered. In saloon two
blocks away lighted lamp was
thrown to the floor and nearly caused a con-
tiagration. The iron plates on the man
holes of the track were found 200 feet
away, to which distance they were hurled.
A lady living in the nelghborhood said that
few minutes before the explosion she saw
two men go to the trap. One Of them lifted
the trap while the other took a package
from his pocket and applied match to it
and lowered it into the tunnel. The men
then secreted themselves. An explosion
followed, and witness saw the cables and
machinery of the trap flying in all ways.
Many of the awakened women and children
were so frightened that thsy went to the
homes OF friends to pass the night, fearful
that if they renamed in their own homes
another explosion might occur and injure
them.

The building was two-siory frame
about twenty feet square. and although
not itself very valuable, its close proxim-

If the hotel, too, was to share the fate of
the burning storeroom, and the furniture

the slight damage to the kitchen no loss
was occasioned on the hotel proper. The
storeroom and contents were totally con

which is fully covered by insurance,

and $1,000 IN that of E E Rogers of

of incendiary origin, as no fire has been
used in the building. A tramp applied
for lodging at about o'clock in the
evening and was refused, upon which it
is said he swore that he would have re,
